Energy Efficiency – Understand if you are compliant with manufacturer and industry-accepted recommendations, and project how much energy you can save by increasing  room ambient temperature.

Reduce Downtime – Establish baselines and track long-term trends for energy consumption, power load, line current, temperature and humidity. Avoid project delays and downtime due to lack of power supply or circuit overloads.

Peace of Mind – Certify usage change from one period to another to support carbon credit claims.

Energy Efficiency – Drive energy conservation behavior by billing back energy consumption to users.

Reduce Downtime – Easily spot power health incidents before they become serious problems. 

Reduces energy costs under normal operations and extends battery life during power failure.

Operational efficiency.

Turns a large amount of detailed data into useful information to enhance capacity planning and energy efficiency initiatives.

Easy-to install enterprise server with dual mirrored hard drives, redundant power and redundant fans.

Power IQ Energy Management Software provides vendor agnostic centralized monitoring, graceful OS shutdown, outlet control, as well as powerful thermal and energy analytics of your active power, costs, line capacities, carbon footprint and rack temperature. Trending reports and cumulative totals can be displayed at the data center, floor, room, rack, customer and IT device level. You can generate customer energy billback cost reports in local currency with one click. Through one Web browser, the scalable Power IQ manages APC^®, Avocent^®, Baytech^®, Cyber Switching^®, Geist, HP, Knurr^®, Liebert, MRV, Raritan, Rittal^®, Server Technology and UNITE™ rack PDUs, UPSs and more. Our system is open database compliant and provides a Web Service API for integration with enterprise systems and tools. It simplifies PX™ configuration and firmware management, plus security is ensured with standards-based authentication, Web session timeout and IP­based access control. 

Power IQ will run on any VMware® platform or on an appliance Raritan provides.

Virtual appliances are pre-built, pre-configured, ready-to-run applications packaged with an operating system inside a virtual machine. Virtual appliances are designed to eliminate the installation, configuration and maintenance costs associated with running complex stacks of software. Customers can easily install and deploy these pre-integrated solution stacks. 

Raritan provides a DVD that sets up a turnkey system, including application software, database, operating system and Web server. The system is ready to run on any VMware platform, including the free VMware ESXi™ for organizations that don’t already have VMware.

Data collection is user configurable from once every 15 seconds to once every hour.

You have the option to deploy Power IQ as a VMware virtual appliance or to use Raritan’s physical appliance. The Raritan appliance is a 2U, rack-mountable server with Intel^® Xeon^® Quad Core CPU, 4GB RAM, redundant fans and dual power supply.

Yes, Power IQ provides a syslog message to notify you if there was a failed login attempt.

Yes, LDAP over a secure port is supported.

Power IQ respects the “lock-out” settings of an LDAP server. If a user attempts multiple invalid logins, and the LDAP server set the account to be blocked, it no longer allows access.

Session timeouts are applicable to both LDAP users and the local administrator account.

Each Power IQ model contains the same software. You can purchase the license capacity that meets your needs today and then update the license capacity as you grow. A device license capacity upgrade does not require a hardware change. We offer 10-, 20-, 50- and 100-device license upgrade packages.

One year of software tech support and updates are included in your initial purchase. Software upgrades do not impact configuration or history data. You have the option to renew this on an annual basis for approximately 18% of the original license.
